We are pleased to note that Hon. J.
T.. kanouse, joint representative for
Meagher and Fergus, has Interested
himself in Fergus county affairs in the
legislature, by attempting to cure, so
far as possible under the restriction
act OF congress, the defects in the sal
AIRY law and the law creating Fergus
county, by endeavoring to secure a
legislative enactment fixing the CON-
pensation of our county officers, and
also to secure to us representation i'm
the next legislature. He has intro.
duced bill to amend the salary law
by including Fergus county, with the
same salaries for our officers as those
of Meagher county receive. Should
this bill fail, from conflict with the
restriction act" as is quite probable,
1t is his purpose to introduce a bill
providing for the same salaries for
officers in any county, when not other
wise provided for by law. The latter
would be general law, and conse-
not open to the objection that |
may be urged against the former. Mr..
kanouse has also introduced an appor-
tionment bill providing for one repre-
each for Meagher and Fergus.
and a joint councilman for the two
1t was feared that th. ;,,..,. s
Fergus county would go a-begging for
workers. but Mr.. Kanouse is certainly
iolng what is fair and honorable as a
oint member. He desires to hear
rom his Fergus county constituents
n relation to any legislative mea sures
u interest to this county, that he may
'ct understandingly and. as far as .
possible, in accordance with our wishes.

A duiinc by the name oi Miss Nina

with full consent of the parents of the

tent IN carrying him bouquets OF
rarest flowers. and daintiest dishes
from the nearest cOnfect ioner. but she
loved him so devotedly that she was
willing to sacrifice social position and
friends to become the bride of the
anarchist. Now, this seen.s like a
strange infatuation, but when it is
stated that Miss Nina was the owner
OF nine dogs her conduct does not
seem so irrational. Miss Nina was
seeking not oriety and husband at the
same time. Nine dogs and an anarch-
ist should satisfy the ambition OF
the proudest Chicago belle. OF course
heperccntage of anarchist to dogs is "a
little small. but there is legal embar-

Young Mems Day,
DIES MONIES, Nov. Sd.

DIES MONIES, NOV. ID.
The second Sunday in November is
observed throughout the world as a
day of special services in the interests
of young men. The pastors In thou
sands of churches viii speak to and
about them. We hope the observance
of the day may be very general through
ont Iowa this year. In many cities and
towns there will be special services held
during the entire week following Nov.
18th. There is a growing belief that
young men can be benefited by any in.
strumentality that win lift them to a
higher average manhood.
When President Cleveland laid the
corner stone of the Kansas City Young
Mems Christian Association building
(which was being erected at cost of
100000 by business mems gifts I'm that
city, he voiced the common conviction
of all thinking men in saying, when il
is considered that the subjects Of these
efforts are to be active men for good or
evil in tho next generation, mere world
ly prudence dictates that these associa.
tons should be aided and encouraged. y
What can he done in this line ought to
he done, more thought should be given
the matter. 1t is well therefore
that one day and week is to be given to
the thoughtful consideration Of the
problem. For it is certainly a problem

Kleptomania.

A lady from the north part of the
county entered one of our dry goods
stores and after examining good pro-
portion of the stock made selection
and, being of a dickering turn of mind,
made an offer to turn in five jerseys in
exchange. The novel proposition
aroused the curiosity of the clerk, who
asked the customer where she had OBJ
tanned them, of whom and at what
price. She was at a loss for reply, and
in her estimate of the value was so wild
that the clerk reported the case to the
proprietor. A little further inquiry
and ambiguous replies confirmed the
merchants suspicious that they had
been procured by theft, with other ar
ticles that had been missed from his
counters. He swore out search war
rant and despatched an officer to ran
sack the home of his fair customer,
where goods valued at S75 were identi-
fed as part of the merchants stock.
Attempts have been made to quiet the
matter, for which purpose the full value
of all goods taken will he paid. 1t is
quite probable, however, that the case
will be brought to the attention of the
court, and the fair customer held up as
horrible example.

A Growing Business.

During the past year Mr. Chas. Tramp
has made many and extensive improve.
ments in the Audubon brickyards.
Early In the spring he was compelled to
increase the capacity of his brick de.
partmcnt by reason of the increased
demand for that material. He then put
in u machine for pressing and an engine
to run it, although ut large expense.
This fall he has bought u machine for
the manufacture of tile, and again has
found more power necessary to run
both machines. For this he will buy
u larger and much better engine, max
ing an outlay during the summer which
approximates 5000. Mr.. Tramp has
thus demonstrated his business enter.
prise, and built up a business that Is
creditable to the town and county. The
expense for machinery has been so
great that Mr., Tramp wishes to remind
those indebted to him that this il u fav-
orable season TO call and settle by cash
or note; Mt the same time thanking
them for liberal patronage.
